Borderline useless? Is it just that the numbers are unit-less? You can extract meaning from them! Find your current computer, find the target computer, calculate the percentage dif…

On social media in China there is an oft-repeated joke that goes something like this: In other countries, governments intervene to prevent anti-competitive behaviour; here (in Chin…

There’s this crazy thing that happens where you need to use carbon to decarbonize. Solar panels are made in factories where energy and inputs are cheaper and then shipped on diesel…

MPEG-TS is used to contain h264 chunks for HLS. MPEG-DASH and the new CMAF standard use fMP4 containers instead. My personal take is that Media over QUIC (MoQ) should support both.…

GitHub is free, but the runners are slow and increasingly unreliable. I use Namespace ( https://namespace.so ) and I hook it up both to my personal GitHub as well as my personal Fo…

I would just like to give this a big ol’ +1. I did not like Nix when I started. The ergonomics are hard to get around, but the power is honestly hard to overstate. Coding agents ac…

Codex is using its app server protocol to build a nice client/server separation that I enjoy on top of the predictable Rust performance. You can run a codex instance on machine A a…
